As we shine the spotlight on our best furry friends today, can you help us provide nourishing meals and lifesaving medical care
for pets in need?
Your gift can change a life!
Back in May, the bony frame of an emaciated 6-year-old black dog came through the doors of our Sanford shelter. The hair on the back half of her body was almost completely gone, revealing flaking, unhealthy skin. The only detail we were told about her past was that she had been living her life locked inside the bathroom of her previous home.
We learned that her name was Midnight and despite the neglect she had endured, she approached her new caretakers with a gentle, laid-back disposition. Not ones to dwell on the past, we immediately began to help her discover a new future.
Our veterinary staff plotted out her course to recovery and Midnight was placed into foster care to begin her journey of healing.
Once Midnight found herself in a safe space, her body quickly recovered over the course of two months.
As her frame filled out from a proper diet, her dark hair replenished itself and her skin issues resolved. She began to play and enjoy exercise, but has ultimately decided her favorite pastime is sleeping – which she loves to do through the night and sprinkled in between her daily activities!
That scrawny dog we received is currently a distant memory from the thriving, happy Midnight that we know today. Now ready to find herself an adopter, Midnight would prefer to be the only pet in the home so she can be the sole recipient of your attention. After all, she deserves it!
In the meantime, we will continue to provide her with yummy food, proper medical care, and plenty of love until she graduates from our care to yours. If you are interested in providing a forever home to Midnight, please contact her foster, Asodeh, at asodeh.magner@gmail.com.
Not looking to adopt, but still want to support our shelter dogs? Transformations like Midnight’s aren’t possible without your help!
